Hello, and welcome to another Monday - a rather cold and wet one around here. So to cheer up the day I'm sharing here a fun little project I completed a couple of weeks ago: a colorful retro-style felt notebook cover.
The top and bottom of the notebook cover are machine sewn (see my themed notebook covers tutorial for details). Then I cut a rectangle of felt in a contrasting color (enough for the pen pocket) and pinned in place.
The pen pocket is hand sewn in the same blue as the notebook cover.
Then instead of using ribbon to close the notebook, I opted for another rectangle of felt and a plastic snap:
And that was it: a very quick project that turned out really bright and colorful - not to mention useful too!

I love how the two colors pair! And the pocket for the pen. I am always loosing my pencil - that's clever!

A lovely colour combo, this would make a lovely gift this Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThank you! This will actually be a birthday gift for one of may daughter's friends, but I will probably make more for Christmas too!
